Stringham's interview of the day before with Sir Luke, who had wished to see her about Milly. "He had wished it himself?" "I think he was glad of it. Clearly indeed he was. He stayed a quarter of an hour. I could see that for him it was long. He's interested," said Mrs. Stringham. "Do you mean in her case?" "He says it isn't a case." "What then is it?" "It isn't, at least," Mrs.
Stringham's compatriots, failed but little, really, of the concert-pitch; it had gone almost as fast as the boom, over the sea, of the last great native novel.
He hadn't in the event quite sunk to that; but he had none the less had there with her, that night, on Mrs. Stringham's leaving them alone Mrs. Stringham proved really prodigious his acquaintance with a shade of awkwardness darker than any Milly could know.
She took it in silence for whatever he deemed it to be; but she spoke otherwise after a minute. "You won't know, unless you've perhaps seen him yourself, that Aunt Maud has been to him." "Oh!" Densher exclaimed, with nothing to add to it. "For real news," Kate herself after an instant added. "She hasn't thought Mrs. Stringham's real?" "It's perhaps only I who haven't.
The three stood for a little together in an awkwardness to which he was conscious of contributing his share; Kate failing to ask Lord Mark to be seated, but letting him know that he would find Mrs. Lowder, with some others, on the balcony. "Oh and Miss Theale I suppose? as I seemed to hear outside, from below, Mrs. Stringham's unmistakeable voice." "Yes, but Mrs. Stringham's alone.
Stringham's account of it all to Milly, during the first days, was that when, at Lancaster Gate, she was not occupied in telling, as it were, about her, she was occupied in hearing much of the history of her hostess's brilliant niece.
On this, as happened, Kate was able at once to satisfy him. "Mr. Someone-or-other, the person principally in charge of Milly's affairs her first trustee, I suppose had just got there at Mrs. Stringham's last writing." "Ah that then was after your aunt last spoke to me I mean the last time before this morning. I'm relieved to hear it. So," he said, "they'll do." "Oh they'll do."
"Of course I was sure of it." And a pause again, with this, fell upon them; which Densher, however, presently broke. "If you don't think Mrs. Stringham's news 'real' what do you think of Lord Mark's?" She didn't think anything. "Lord Mark's?" "You haven't seen him?" "Not since he saw her." "You've known then of his seeing her?" "Certainly. From Mrs. Stringham."
The basis, the inevitable basis, was that she was going to be sorry for Susie, who, to all appearance, had been condemned in so much more uncomfortable a manner to be sorry for her. Mrs. Stringham's sorrow would hurt Mrs. Stringham, but how could her own ever hurt?
Stringham's eyes entreated her; she had gone close to her, half enclosed her with urgent arms. "Do you want to see some one?" And then as the girl only met it with a slow headshake, though looking perhaps a shade more conscious: "We'll go straight to the best near doctor." This too, however, produced but a gaze of qualified assent and a silence, sweet and vague, that left everything open.
